I'll be doing a review on the top 25 players not in my tribe to prevent sounding biased. What I say may or may not sound insulting, but I'm just saying it how I see it. No disrespect intended.
Rank
3 Seven Swords - Internalled/merged up to a high rank. Good Oda(top 20). Interesting spread, several fronts, might cause them trouble down the road. Hidden awards, I'm assuming they have around 500 coins already but still not 100mil looted. Will be interesting to see if they can keep the acnt going without any more internals.
5 superguy123 - Hall of Famer. Good start up, faded into the background until recent internals. Has very high ODA, might've ran into some stacks against core tribes. Also hidden awards, most likely 500 coins already, no gold looter due to what looks like inactivity a few weeks back. Recently joined top ranked tribe, increasing their potential. Has lots of food, should remain top ranked for quite some time.
7 ShadowBlazer -Another high ODA acnt. Recent success against QQ tribe. Boxed in, will have to fight for his conquers towards the core. May be the frontline player in a war against Public if it were to ever happen, would also be fighting another top ranked acnt. Interesting to see who'd win. Not much information from his awards. Should remain top 10 for a while.
10 fonkyfamily -My "dark horse" pick. Very nice spread. Doesn't have 100mil looted yet but should be close if they've been actively farming. High village point average, Low OD, assuming they have a few full nukes and lots of coins. Won't have much competition nobling out on the rim. Will be keeping my eye on them in a potential war against Public or AON.
11 hydse -Very shaky acnt. Recently merged. Can't have very many nobles left. Fighting a war against QQ. Low ODA, not sure how much theyre participating in their war. Boxed in. Consistent growth will be hard for them. Don't see them as a top 10 contender, top 20 should be reasonable for them.
13 Golden Ferret -Very High ODA with a good amnt of ODD as well. Decent growth, but not a good location. Might fall in and out of top 15.
17 Grapesofwrath -Really good ODA with very high village average. Will rebuild nukes very fast and should have no problem participating and succeeding in the current war with QQ. 1x LotD, 4x PotD so they're actively farming. Lots of targets in the core. Should stay highly ranked for a while with a top 10 appearance in the upcoming weeks.
20 DAUMARCXEBELI - Core player, almost half of his conquers are internals and barbs. Don't see much of a future for this acnt based on location and current tribe. Might have to ride it out and hope for an invitation to a bigger tribe. Don't see him getting into top 15 anytime soon.
23 HoboBaba - Lots of internals. Core player on several fronts. He's in a top ranked tribe which will certainly help him out. High ODA, going to be interesting to see how he performs in the potential wars he could be facing. Not a likely contender for top 15, but time will tell.
24 Oldguye61 - High total OD, actively fighting. Doing decent for the size of his acnt. His tribe is fighting several others and taking some hits. Might not stay in the top 25 as he starts running out of targets.
25 vivenku - Very interesting spread. Might cause problems in defense. Too many internals, seems to be the theme in his tribe for whatever reason. Not Likely to stay in the top 25.
